Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey (1993)

[micromys]

One of my favorite things about this scene was that by this point, these three animal actors were so fond of each other that the trainers really didn’t have to do much work to make them go to each other like this. They were really that happy to see each other!

That made this so much better!

If a fantasy world has an ancient tree of wisdom, that means it must also have young trees that are dumb as shit. Just giving terrible advice like, "the evil wizard is kinda hot"'

#that would be hilarious #you'd have to measure trees to make sure they knew what they were talking about

I can easily see this fantasy world having idioms like "Never take the advice of a tree that's small enough to hug."

(Also, I'll bet some of those young trees give bad advice on purpose, because entertainment is at a premium when you can't move around, and your morality system is very different from that of the meat creatures.) (What do trees know or care about the evil wizard's actual attractiveness? Sending him all these suitors is pretty funny though, so they're probably going to keep doing it.)

Consider: Two Pando-style clonal forests that overlap. It appears to be a vast forest, but every single "tree" is actually just a ramet of one or the other clonal organsim. Both are Ancient Trees of Wisdom™, but also they hate each other; you can never be sure which of the two you're talking to, but you can be sure that any advice one of them gives the other will disagree with on principle.

[marlynnofmany]

Out: one guard lies and one tells the truth

In: one forest that speaks in a single voice will tell you dubious information, and the other will contradict it no matter what, and you can't begin to categorize what kind of situationship they have going on, but they're clearly working through something on a geologic timescale

Retelling The Hobbit Chapter 16: The Song of the Lonely Mountain First chapter / Previous / Next (coming TBD!)

*crumbles into dust after finishing this* Thank you for reading! This The Hobbit webcomic adaptation thing takes a lot of effort to put together and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate every comment. I also really appreciate the people who’ve spread the word of this comic to their friends! <3

And finally, we’re at the Song of the Lonely Mountain! Within Tolkien’s canon, The Hobbit is an in-universe book that was “written” by Bilbo Baggins, who occasionally lies/embellishes/exaggerates things. The tonal differences between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are explained by Bilbo and Frodo/Sam being different kinds of storytellers, with different relationships to “the truth.” This idea is the core of how I’m adapting the novel!  Bilbo is an unreliable narrator who is literally ‘drawing’ from his own limited experiences;  the different art styles reflect the different perspectives of other characters.   The “dwarf art style” in this chapter is inspired by stonework/metalwork in general— but especially by a mix of art deco, Celtic art, and European folk art. 

The central tension of the comic is between Bilbo and Thorin, who each have wildly different ideas about what kind of  story they’re in. Thorin is in a grand fantasy epic, while Bilbo is in a lighthearted children’s book adventure.  The tragedy is, obviously, that only one side of the story ever gets to be fully told.

On a sillier note, a few years ago I had my first gay crush on a lesbian who sang while playing the piano. This chapter is dedicated to the piano lesbian. I hope they’re doing well, wherever they are. XD

I think I might need a bit of a break but I’m hoping for the next chapter, titled “Dawn,” to arrive on January 13th. And your comments/support really do help motivate me to get more done! ^_^

Having a Minotaur Boyfriend would be so fucking funny

Like imagine crying on the couch and you hear his thunderous, big body SUV built ass footsteps approach you.

"Baby, what's wrong," he says tenderly as he rubs your shoulder.

You look up to explain how bad your day was with tears in your eyes and you fucking see this:

Tybalt (The Shakespeare Character) is named after Tibert (The Prince of Cats), a character from the then popular story Reynard the Fox. Mercutio, in fact, mocks him as 'The Prince of Cats' in reference to this.

Therefore, I propose we name him "Garfield" in all modern retellings of Hamlet

[mightymo63]

Wasn't Tybalt a character in Romeo and Juliet?

[shreekofjoy]

I am stupid.

[erratic-dragon-fruit]

I mean as long as we’re here we should put Garfield in hamlet anyway

this takes place early in zuko’s reign while he’s still trying to figure out what’s the person he needs to be for his people and sokka really goes there and says “they don’t need you do be anything but yourself”
